The year 2007 is one of the best years for the body of Christ. God is moving in a special way. Everything is going to change. Every stone is going to be removed. The church will no longer be the same because God is getting ready to change the facelift of his church in the 21st century and make it a more radical and terrorist institution because we have to stand up and fight for what is ours. For the last week, God has awakened me at 3:15am. He directed me to my Bible and showed me something on what will be taking place in the year 2005 called “the year of remembrance”. God is going to speak to the least expected, least recognized, the ones who sit at the back of the bus and those who are called “nobodies”. I was looking through the Bible in 2 Kings 5:1-11, where there was a man by the name of Naaman. He was a remarkable man in biblical history. A man of character, a man of honor, and a man of ability, but he had leprosy. The Hebrew word for leprosy refers to several serious skin diseases (Leviticus 13:1-46). Naaman was the king of Syria and a constant threat to the Northern kingdom that he would later invade. The Bible said he captured a young Jewish girl who became a servant in the house of Naaman. The young Jewish girl did not have a chance in life so she did something remarkable. All she wanted was her master, Naaman to be healed. And God heard her request and used her testimony to transform the world. She spoke and said “there is a prophet in Israel, and his name is Elijah”. The prophet said to Naaman, “go and dip yourself seven times in the Jordan river”. Naaman did as the prophet said and his flesh was restored.

While we look at the story, this same Jewish girl, who did not carry the title of bishop, apostle, pastor, teacher or prophet, was used by God to save a mighty man of God. In the same way God used this young Jewish girl, God is going to use many people in the pews, which have come to church year after year but have been overlooked and unfairly treated by the church. This year is “the year of remembrance” where God is going to use people that will have many pastors surprised because God is no respecter of persons.
